EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the grandeur and magnificence of the coronation procession of Maria Theresa as Empress of Austria, which took place on November 22, 1740, in Vienna. The event marked a significant turning point in Austrian history, as Maria Theresa ascended to the throne following the death of her father, Emperor Charles VI, by virtue of the Pragmatic Sanction. The Pragmatic Sanction was a crucial document that aimed to secure the Habsburg succession by granting Maria Theresa the same rights as her male predecessors, despite being a woman. However, her claim to the throne was contested by various European powers, leading to the Austrian Succession War. In the print, Maria Theresa, dressed in her imperial regalia, rides in a magnificent carriage, surrounded by her courtiers and soldiers. The procession makes its way through the streets of Vienna, with the crowd lining the route to catch a glimpse of the new empress. The grandeur of the occasion is evident in the ornate costumes, the intricately decorated carriages, and the banners and flags that flutter in the wind. The coronation of Maria Theresa as empress was a pivotal moment in Austrian history, marking the beginning of a new era for the Habsburg monarchy. Despite the challenges and conflicts that lay ahead, this moment of triumph and celebration is captured beautifully in this exquisite print.
